Outdoor Desert Oasis

Set on a very quiet and private 2.5 acres, the outdoor spaces are designed to fully embrace the beauty of the high desert. From sunrise coffee to evenings beneath the stars, the property offers multiple places to gather, relax, and take in the surroundings.

At the center of the outdoor area is a sparkling swimming pool with in-water lounge seating, surrounded by comfortable sun loungers for soaking up the desert sunshine. Nearby, an eight-person hot tub invites guests to unwind while enjoying Joshua Tree’s famously clear night skies.

Two fire pits create the perfect setting for conversation at golden hour or late-night storytelling under the stars.

For those who love outdoor dining and cooking, the fully equipped outdoor kitchen includes a barbecue grill, stovetop, sink, commercial ice maker, full size dishwasher, and seating for up to fourteen guests—making it easy to enjoy long meals together in the open desert air.

The surrounding landscape reflects the natural beauty of Joshua Tree, providing a serene backdrop of desert plants, open sky, and distant mountain views.

Guests can enjoy classic games in and outside of the game room, such as:
